Configuring the assembly options

Meridian can enforce rules that determine the status of subassembly and part documents when Meridian releases an assembly document that references the other documents . You can also configure a default destination folder where you want the copies of assemblies to be created.

To configure the assembly options:

  1. In Configurator, expand Environment in the configuration tree and select Vault Settings. The vault’s settings appear in property pages in the right pane.
  2. Click the Assemblies tab. The options and their current settings are shown.
  3. Click the Edit button to modify the settings.
  4. Click options or type values using the descriptions in the following table.

Option Description

Releasing an assembly document

Select the option that best matches your typical business process. Select Releases the assembly document and all its references if subassemblies and parts are not referenced by other assemblies. Select Releases the assembly document only if subassemblies and parts are referenced by other assemblies. This option affects only the reference types that are created by the CAD application links.

Copy/Derive with references options

To force all assembly copies to a default folder:

  1. Select Do not show Select Folder dialog before copying.
  2. Click Browse and select a destination folder in the vault.
  1. Click OK to save your changes.
